What You Believe is Right

What ever it is that you believe it is the right thing for you. That doesn't mean that it is universally right or the truth, but it is what you need to believe. Off the top of my head I can think of four different groups of belief systems: Organized Religions, Own Religion, No Religion or Spiritual Explorer.

Organized Religions are what you would expect. These are all the well know and not so well know religious groups. The bases for this group is that the group believes basically the same thing. Their might be some minor deviations and some in the group that question the faith, but over all they believe in basically the same thing and there is normally some doctrine. They believe their faith is fact and would be difficult to get them to believe something else.

Own Religions
are when the person develops their own belief system. Usually buy taking bits and pieces from various religions or by using an organized religion as a base. Then may use some doctrine but also may not. They believe their faith is fact and would be difficult to get them to believe something else.

No Religion are when the person does not believe in anything specific. Generally these are people who fell no drive to seek out a faith or belief system. They are happy living out their lives without thinking about or believing in anything.

Spiritual Explorer are the people who are searching for the answers. This is the group that I put myself into. These people actively search for the truth and often discuss belief systems. They are open to all faiths but follow none. It is likely they have created a form of their own faith but it is not static and grows and changes over time as they learn and grow.

Regardless of which one of these you are, it is the right thing. We are all on our own paths and what is right for one is not right for another. I welcome all here and as a Spiritual Explorer I will listen to what you have to say and grow my own beliefs. I hope that this site can help other Spiritual Explorer in their search for the truth.
